Chapter 922(1/2)
It was also Saturday at noon, a grand reception banquet was being held in a high-end hotel on the banks of Xizi Lake, a thousand miles away from Yangshuo.
The two circles of politics and business are united.
The hospitality target is the Chinese investment team of Apollo Management Company from the United States.
There are two core guests, Jared Barkley, head of Apollo Management's China business department, and Lin Su.
As for the larger Apollo Management CEO Leon Black, who is the CEO of Apollo Management, who is now a big-name, has returned to the United States. Moreover, the so-called investment inspection this time was not originally on the work schedule of the Apollo Management team's trip to China, because Lin Su appeared behind someone in a news program with the longest-lived and largest brand in China.
This city is Lin Su's hometown again.
Then, after some inquiries, I found that the girl from the Lin family had already made a great fortune before she knew it. She turned out to be Mr. Simon Westeros's assistant in China. Lin Su was responsible for many of the schedules for this trip to China. She also stood within a conspicuous distance of less than two meters in Westeros and appeared in the broadcast together.
In this case, how can you ignore your hometown?
Lin Su thought it would be impossible to care.
After all, it is not just my family. All kinds of cliches and entanglements around the Lin family are within the system. If you don’t care... it’s not a big deal. But more importantly, if you take care of it, a series of complicated relationships will gain great benefits. After all, this is the current trend of the domestic trend. With economic development as the center, as long as you can attract investment, it is a real political achievement. If it is foreign capital, add another code.
After several days of various telephone bombings and face-to-face lobbying, Lin Su, who had been very confused, finally mentioned it to a guy. The man was very cautious and threw the Zhejiang Province enterprise information counted by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute to her and chose it himself. If he chose a company or project that could satisfy him, he could invest.
Otherwise, no talk.
In fact, the information and analysis provided by Cersei Capital China Economic Research Institute is very detailed, and you can basically follow the map to find the map.
However, things are not that simple.
There are indeed many good companies, but others may not necessarily need your investment. Therefore, on the basis of choosing the right goal, both parties need to have a cooperation intention.
This matter cannot be settled in one or two days. Lin Su still has a lot of work in Beijing, so he can only bring in the small teams that were gradually gathered up by Apollo Management Company's Chinese business department team and Chen Qing, who are still in China, and first investigate and find the project. It can be regarded as doing its part for the hometown.
As for Lin Su himself, he will return to the capital in the afternoon.
With her father, who seemed to be glowing in the second spring, and a big businessman who was involved in social activities, no one forced Lin Su to drink, but her face turned red when she drank. Lin's father was even drunk and was helped out in advance to rest.
It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that the banquet began to end. Lin Su, who was planning to say goodbye, found Jared Barkley and Ran Yue again.
Those who will be responsible for the inspection and consultation here are Ran Yue, the Chinese assistant whom Jared Barkley and Chen Qing are quite interested in. They sit next to them with a glass of red wine in their hands. Lin Su said: "Jerry, Sister Ran, I'll ask you here next. We'll contact you at any time. If you have any questions, my father and others can also help."
Both of them nodded, and Ran Yue thoughtfully replaced the red wine in her hand with juice, and said with a smile: "Xiaolin, don't drink it anymore. What if... Oh, by the way, when will you and Chen Qing return to the United States?"
Lin Su was not drunk, and understood that Ran Yue was actually asking when Simon left, shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Jared Barkley on the other side also said in a very standard Chinese: "Lin, I have read a lot of corporate information, and there are indeed many worth investing in. However, there should be a direction. Can you tell me what specific requirements Mr. Westeros has? I don't want to pick the wrong one and leave a bad impression on the boss?"
It would be great if someone made clear requests for himself.
Lin Su was inexplicably resentful, of course she didn't show it. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Simon has always attached great importance to China's food and beverage industry. You know this. It just so happens that there are many similar companies in Zhejiang Province. In addition... By the way, there are also automobiles. Simon said that China's automobile market has great potential."
Ran Yue, who had a round face and mature temperament, heard Lin Su's words "Simon said" and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jared Barkley caught another point: "Geely, Lin, have you read the information about this company?"
Lin Su was slightly stunned for a moment before nodding, and also understood why she suddenly thought of what Simon said by chance. In recent days, she saw that a motorcycle production company in Zhejiang Province called Geely wanted to enter the automotive field and was seeking cooperation.
This should be an opportunity.
Jared Barkley thought quickly for a moment and said, "This seems to be difficult. Chinese automobile companies usually choose similar companies for cooperation with foreign countries, because only funds for automobile production are not enough..."
Speaking of this, Barkley seemed to be enlightened again, as if he was talking to Lin Su and said quickly: "However, the domestic automobile companies in the federal government are not having a good time now, and they have no funds or energy to invest in China. Therefore, China's joint venture automobile market has been occupied by German and Japanese brands over the years. This is our opportunity and there is a lot of room for operation. At worst, we can directly poach a group of teams from GM or Ford, and technology can be acquired. Moreover, Geely is a private company, which is also very beneficial to us. I am really unwilling to cooperate with Chinese state-owned enterprises."
Ran Yue looked at a big foreigner with a height of more than 1.9 meters tall and became more and more excited. Finally, she took out a notepad and wrote it on the dining table, and turned to Lin Su.
What disease is this?
Lin Su smiled and whispered a little to Ran Yue: "This is how foreigners are."
In fact, to be precise, there are more crazy people on Wall Street.
Although the series of Chinese projects she and Chen Qing were responsible for in the past two years have been outstanding, the Chinese business department headed by Jared Barkley is also excellent. Just by looking at the other party’s current skillful Chinese ability, you can tell how much he cares about Chinese business.
After giving a final explanation, Lin Su stood up and said goodbye to the leaders.
Lin's father was drunk and could not move. Lin's mother He Ning and her sister Lin Lan took her away. On the bus to the airport, the mother and daughter were sitting in the back row together. In front were two female guards of the Wei family who were with Lin Su.
After telling my mother to let her father drink less alcohol, Lin Su held the little hand of her sister who was about to get married and said, "I may not be able to participate in your marriage next month. However, I picked a car abroad and was already completing the import procedures. When the time comes, it will be a wedding gift."
Lin Lan leaned on Lin Su affectionately: "Sister, you have given me a house, um...what, what car is it?"
Lin Su turned her head and resisted her sister, saying, "BMW."
Lin Lan was a little disappointed: "I thought it would be a Ferrari, just like the one Li Xiaohua drove on Chang'an Street."
"That's a sports car, not suitable for daily use. Moreover, you both work in government departments, and driving such a conspicuous car is not suitable, so BMW is good."
"Isn't there a BMW in China?"
"Domestic..." Lin Sudun paused, without saying much, just said: "This model has not yet been sold in China."
Lin's mother listened to the conversation between the two sisters for a while, and finally said, "Xiao Su, you... what is the situation now? Can you talk to your mother?"
Lin Su could feel that her mother should have weighed the pros and cons for a long time before she asked this sentence. After all, her family was not stupid. She, a woman who went abroad with sole proprietorship, became a Chinese affairs assistant like Simon Westeros in less than two years. Some of the possibilities are really too easy to associate.
He didn't dare to look at his mother, Lin Su lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom, anyway, I'm pretty good now."
Lin's mother also pulled her daughter with one hand in her palm, sighed softly, and said, "If you don't feel good outside, come back at any time, don't pay attention to your father. He is only two years away from retirement. It's too late to be a fan of the official, so what can you do if you take another step in the end?"
Lin Su turned around and held his mother's hand: "Mom, don't say that to my dad, it's not easy for him over the years."
"Who is it easy? It's time to be content with being able to live such a good life now," Lin's mother said, and looked at Lin Lan on the other side: "And you, don't ask your sister for anything anymore. You are also a person in the system now. If you develop this problem, be careful of your bad luck in the future."
Lin Lan retorted: "I didn't want it, my sister bought it for me on her own initiative."
"When I haven't heard of the Chinese New Year, do you always want a car in front of your sister? Anyway, you will walk the road in the future by yourself, you will miss it, and you will miss the opportunity. Your dad and I can't control it. There is also the Qin family, you think that if you climb up, others will look down on you and know the future."
Lin Lan had to talk back, but when she heard this, she smiled and hugged her sister tightly: "The Qin family originally looked down on me, but now my sister is well developed, of course it's different. Can they be on the broadcast of the broadcast? Anyway, Qin Yusong's parents have been nice to me recently. Yesterday, my future mother-in-law asked me what I lack in a new house and took the time to buy it together. Humph, they looked down on me before, and they might be in the future. Just like this time, the investment brought by my sister cannot be cheaper, but it is useless to others, and it will be useful to me. I will step on Qin Yusong's head first, and then I will talk about it. I will throw Xiao Qin away in the future. Lao Qin has to give me the little resources if I don't give it to me."
Lin’s mother obviously has a similar personality to Lin Su. When her second daughter said this, she was both angry and helpless: “This time it was your sister who worked hard, not you.”
"My sister's is mine."
Lin's mother raised her hand and slapped her second daughter in the head: "Is this what a person said?"
Lin Lan covered her head: "You gave birth to me."
Seeing that his mother was about to beat him again, Lin Su quickly stopped him and changed the topic: "Mom, don't forget to hand over the gift I brought back to my grandparents tonight. This time I don't have time to visit them, so I'll apologize to my grandparents."
Lin's mother nodded and complained: "We have to leave from morning to afternoon. Why are you doing so urgently? Today is Saturday. Can't you stay at home for one night?"
Lin Lan interrupted again: "Mom, my sister is a big shot now."
So he got hit in the head again.
Lin Su bent her lips slightly to protect her sister and explained to her mother: "I really don't have time this time, he... that, many things need me to coordinate."
Lin Lan immediately caught the flaw in her sister's words: "Sister, who is 'he'? Is it Simon Westeros?"
Feeling that his mother and sister looked over together, Lin Su pretended to be calm: "Yes, he is my boss."
Lin Lan smiled and turned to her mother: "Mom, maybe one day, you will have a mixed-race grandson."
Lin's mother acted as if she was about to fight again, and Lin Lan quickly retreated.
Lin Su could only pretend not to understand her sister's words. Fortunately, after drinking at noon, her face was already rosy, but she would not show her appearance.
Seeing that his second daughter was avoiding, Lin's mother looked at her daughter again. After thinking about it, she still didn't ask any more questions. She remembered another thing: "Xiaodong called yesterday and talked about studying in the United States. Xiao Su, haven't you done it?"
When Lin Su heard his mother mention this, she was slightly stunned and nodded: "Mom, I don't really want my brother to study abroad."
Lin Lan was puzzled first: "Why? Nowadays, many people are crying and shouting to go to the United States. Sister, it is enough for me to support the Lin family in the future. I think Adong and Ah Xing should study abroad."
Lin's mother interrupted her second daughter again and held the eldest daughter's hand tightly: "Mom wants to say, since you don't think it's suitable, don't worry about him and don't ask for help for this matter. Xiaodong applied for it himself if he wants to go to the United States. After all, he is a master's degree from Peking University and can't even get a study abroad by himself. What's the point of being a success?"
Lin Lan's eyes rolled and said to her mother: "Of course there is no problem with my brother applying for it himself. I think he should have to trouble my sister because he wants to study with that brandy. Beijing University of Science and Technology, it's far worse than Peking University."
"What brandy is called Bailan, I think that girl is pretty good," Lin's mother glared at her daughter again, and said, "I know what you think, I don't like other people's worker family. Think about the feeling that you are not favored by the Qin family. Is this appropriate?"
"Why is it not suitable? I am not favored by others. Of course, I have to look down on others, otherwise I will suffer too much... Ah, mom, if you hit me again, I will hit my sister."
Lin's mother was so sorry for her: "You are snob."
"I'm just snob," Lin Lan said, then shrank back and turned to her sister: "Since that's the case, sister, don't worry about going abroad at all. Xiaodong went abroad by himself, and he just happened to get rid of that girl and find a better one in the future."
Lin Su could only nod her head gently and listen quietly as her mother and sister continued to quarrel.
The two obviously ignored or misunderstood what she just said, and she didn't want her brother to study in the United States.
It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.
I really don't want this to happen.
As for the reason.
Lin Su himself couldn't even say it.
Or is it related to someone.
That guy seems to like helping people become naturalized in the United States, just like her and Chen Qing, like the girls from the National Style Art Troupe, like those high-IQ teenagers who have been searching for in China recently.
For many Chinese people, this is a dream.
After all, it's the United States.
Many people imagine that this is heaven.
